Papua New Guinea Highlands
Garden-grown coffee from one of the world's most remote origins.
The land
Our medium-roast espresso comes from the misty highlands of Papua New Guinea, a Melanesian origin so remote that most of its coffee is still 'garden coffee' — grown by tribal smallholders on small family plots interplanted with food crops, with no chemical inputs. The heirloom Typica trees here trace their lineage to Jamaica Blue Mountain seed. Deep volcanic soil, high rainfall, and elevations between 1,300 and 1,900 metres give the beans a bright highland complexity you rarely find at this price.
Washed & roasted
Cherries are hand-harvested and fully washed at village wet mills, then dried slowly in the highland air. Because it's grown in tended gardens rather than vast estates, the coffee is unusually traceable and carefully sorted. We roast it to a medium level — the sweet spot that keeps the origin's juicy fruit and cocoa intact while rounding it into a smooth, versatile espresso.
In the cup
A medium body with baker's cocoa and toffee sweetness, a soft caramel roundness, and a gently bright, almost fruit-forward highland lift. Balanced and approachable, it makes a forgiving, crowd-pleasing shot and a beautiful cortado or latte.
